Im looking to replace the wipers on the front windshield. The stock ones chatter way too much for me so i was willing to spend 20 bucks to get some new ones. The only thing is, the FIT has some wierd setup where one is much longer than the other. Also, Im not sure what kind of blade will load into the spring/hook thing that the FIT has. If anyone has done this or knows anything about the subject, help would be much appreciated : )

 

Most blades you find in PEP Boys, Autozone, Walmart use the hook design. Just unclip the whole blade assembly and clip a new one on. Just get a ruler, measure the length of the blade and buy the same size. Shorter is ok, longer is usually not. Longer than stock blades might hit the window trim.

If you prefer, measure the blade and see if other Honda/Acura models use similar lengths. Other Honda/Acura blades usually dont have a problem with chatter. Although, some Honda/Acura blades (not just replacement rubber) can cost a lot.

 

i was looking at the PIAA super silicone ones (they come with window treatment for flawless wiping). Thanks for the heads up.

PS, should i be measuring the length of the whole assembly or the rubber part?

 

rubber part only. and the measurement should be in inches - whole number, no halves.

 

hmmm....I just measured. I got 13.5" for the small one and 24" for the big one. So i need a 14" and a 24". Unfortuntely those PIAAs start at 15". Grrr

 

I loved my Piaa SUper Silicon blades on my tundra...let us know what you come up with!
